ACC ~ Galatians 1 v23

HYPERBOLE AND MODESTY. CHRYSOSTOM: What soul could be more modest than this? For when he is discussing the things that bring opprobrium on him, such as his persecution and plundering of the church, he narrates it with great hyperbole, putting his previous life on show; but the things which would enhance his reputation he passes by. HOMILY ON GALATIANS 1.23.
